nothing was too much trouble and they came up with so many lovely little ideas
that made the day even more special. One word – magical!”Mr & Mrs Pierce

Your Wedding

Yor Hotel

With just 32 bedrooms, the Orchid is the perfect size to book for exclusive use for your wedding.
Imagine… the whole place and all of our friendly, attentive staff at your disposal for an elegantly intimate occasion in the
company of family, friends and loved ones. In the leafy, elegant environs of Bournemouth’s
Eastcliff, a residential wedding at the Orchid makes for a celebration that’s as relaxed as it is unique.

The Food

of Love

Food and drink on the big day are of paramount importance. That’s why, once you’ve booked
your wedding at the Orchid , one of the first meetings you’ll have is with Chef. It’s your day, your menu, so our kitchen
will be dedicated to providing spectacular cuisine from start to finish. You may already have a clear idea of what you
want on the menu – if so, we’ll make it happen. You may have an open mind… in which case we’ll be delighted to guide,
inform and inspire your menu choices. Either way, you can be sure that all your wedding food and
drink, from canapes to cake, from bucks fizz to bellinis and bolly, will be of the very highest order.

A Beautiful

Settingt

Newly refurbished and resplendent, the Orchid is a seductive setting for a stylish wedding.
Blending the gracious features of the building’s elegant Edwardian heritage with sleek and chic contemporary design,
the hotel is at once modern and traditional – cool and classic. As such, it provides a glamorous stage that’s tailor-made
for your special day. Juxtaposing chandeliers and polished
marble floors with vibrant, contemporary colours, the design concept is daring, dynamic – and delightful.

“From the moment we first set foot in the Orchid,
we simply fell in love with the setting – so stylish, so slick… it just felt so right.”Julia & Markus

Intimate

or Impresive

With a civil ceremony license and a choice of indoor and outdoor spaces for your service, the Orchid offers a flexible setting for weddings of all sizes. For more intimate
occasions, our smaller function room, with doors opening out onto the courtyard, is the perfect choice.
Recently restyled and refurbished from scratch, the room is spacious, airy and effortlessly elegant.

For bigger wedding parties, our larger function room is ideal. Able to accommodate 100 for a sit-down meal and up to
160 for a reception, this impressive space has also been completely redesigned and renovated, providing accommodation that’s as versatile as it is stylish. Our courtyard, complete with enchanting pergola, is an irresistibly romantic setting for a glamorous garden wedding. Also recently renovated, the courtyard retains a grandeur and grace that hark back to the hotel’s
origins as one of the first Edwardian villas on Bournemouth’s elegant Eastcliff.
